15220 - Ricky The Record Hound
(Felicia Fontaine, Bryte Music)

Brite-Star Prod., Newbury, Ohio

Roy Records

Well, you've heard of the autograph howl, or the one who stores bones in the
ground. Different from any dog around, I'll make you the record howl. I start each
day, same old way, burning at the record store. Looking at ones I haven't seen
before, I'll make you the record howl.

Well, now you've heard of the autograph house, the one who stores bones in the
ground. I'm different from any dog around, I'm Ricky the record howl. I start each
day, same old way, hunting at the record store. You should see my tail wag when I
see ones I haven't seen before. I'm Ricky the record howl, yeah, Yeah, Ricky,
the record hound.

Anu on Unicorn

 

Anu

22553 - Just Say So (Anu, Vestal Music BMI)

22554 - Prayer

Produced by Elliot Ryan

Unicorn Records


Just Say So

A new label added to my Rite list. A third Unicorn label. Not the same as The Plantation Singers one, or as The Hazards (from Ohio, related to Bryte/Brite Star).

This Unicorn label was from Washington, DC. Operated by Elliot Ryan, also owner of Vestal Music, BMI publisher affiliated.

Ryan was originally from New York, had graduated from Michigan State University, and after a two-year stint in the army settled down in Washington, DC in May 1960. He took over the Unicorn, a major beatnik establishment, which offered folk music and a bohemian atmosphere for those who shied away from the hustle and bustle of Connecticut Avenue, with the idea of making it a live music coffee house and installed a Wednesday night “hootenanny” where a bevy of folk singers gathered and sung for the masses. Jazz musicians were featured on Monday nights and on weekends he booked such folk artists as Tim Cameron, Allen Damron, Mario Illo, John Everhart, Robbie Basho, Pete LaFarge, and Eric Darling (of the Weavers). Local guitarists like John Fahey and Max Ochs regularly showed up for impromptu performances and the popular Joan Baez even stopped in one night to sing onstage with the resident folkies.
